That’s really cool. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks you just save me $$$$.

@jonl4802 no problem 🤑💰 . I wish there was a way to DIY a thermo scope. That they way to go . There to dang expensive in my opinion 🤑💯👍✌️💯

You’re very welcome.

Thermal is cool. Right now we have lots of fog at night which really limits night vision. Thermal would perform much better in that kind of weather. Limited but not as badly.

Thanks & happy holidays!

Thanks brother.

I think you’re onto something. I’d love to see one.

I totally agree. As it happens mine is wearing a NV400 DayNight Vision scope that I plan on doing some cold weather shooting with. Report will be out soon. Thanks for sharing your experiences. It means a lot. So many people speak with authority on topics they have no first hand experience with. Also the conventional wisdom is typically resistant to change. Now how could would a refillable cartridge be. One that could be reloaded from locally purchased nitrogen?

Awesome feedback! I really like mine too. Plenty of power for small game and accuracy that puts that power where you need it. Also I was initially concerned about accessibility and pricing of the cartridges. I was desperate for something that claimed and my go to online retailers were out. I was pleasantly surprised to find them in stack at the local Walmart for $18.92. Sweet, huh.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Yes, I have found the golds to be really excellent pellets as well. In this instance I was looking for something that claimed velocity increase as I’d wanted a contrast to some of the Gamos I tested previously. Thanks again for taking the time to document your experiences and sharing them here. Take care.

@AlsAirguns Thanks Al...happy to contribute 👍🙂 I believe these Crosman Flight pellets are made in Hungary by Skenco; I theorize that Skenco also does final assembly for the Predator Poly & Metalmag pellets...JSB makes the pellets themselves, and they are then "assembled' in Hungary. My guess is that Skenco is producing the non-lead, polymer & metal tips & installing them in the Czech-made pellets... Take care Al & happy shooting 😁👍🍻 P.S. I also have some RWS HyperMax alloy pointeds I need to try out at some point.. you don't see much testing data on them it seems..

My hack saw was hungry 😋

​@@AlsAirgunsYk could of use it on a smaller gun like a BB gun? Idk but I feel bad for you saw

@ Don’t feel bad buddy. I had reasons for doing that I didn’t disclose. My buddy has problems on his ranch with these little nuisance ground squirrels we call diggers. They cause horrible harm to land, crops and livestock. You cannot walk up on them at all. But they are not afraid of people in cars. And our state law allows us to shoot them from vehicles on private roads. My friend wanted a short viper that was easier for him to handle in his vehicle if shots present themselves as he drives around the ranch.

For sure.👍🏻

Joseph has been kind enough to loop me in on research he’s done and plans for trying a couple of ideas with CO2, HPA, and potentially refillable nitrogen. So you could fill from the locally available 4 foot commercial tanks. I’m supposed to call him to see how we go about conveying the information he’s gathered. I’m also trying to get my one leaf nv400 videos out.They gave me some limited time discount code I can attach to that video. I’m thinking it’s 10% but need to look. Take care

Yes but not worth it. A smith that’s done those conversations in the past says that given the operating pressure that valve likes to operate at you’ll only get a couple of decent shots out of that tube. If you want to attach am hpa tank it’ll work fine but it’s not exactly portable in the way a pistol is supposed to be.

I’m in agreement on the finish. My Chinese production gun has awesome blueing and the Laser engraved markings are another improvement over the old roll stamping. There are other product improvements too. A better breech screw for example.

Yes, installing it is super easy. The current design is more attractive too. Please do me a favor, if you order one please let Mike know that you heard about it here. Thanks 😊

@AlsAirguns I sure will

@ Thanks

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

I really like that idea! I needed gas to day because I’m testing the 2-52x50 NV400 on the Komplete. I think it’s a perfect combination. Part of my interest regarding availability has to do with travel. Now I’m more confident that if I fly to another state I can bring the Komplete along & but gas when I land. I used to travel with my 2300T that way because airlines don’t like pressurized containers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@AlsAirguns I no what you mean. I use to go to LAX airport quite a bit there very picky on what can and can't be taken on. With hpa/tanks you can also travel with it as long as it's empty . You would have to find a welding supply shop to refill or if you have and bring a hpa compressor you can fill it up after you arrive. Some times though they my also have you unscrew the valve from the tank for there own insurance.😉🫡💯 p.s. iv always wanted to go to Florida with the airgun . There tons of invasive species that are destroying the environment and other local wild life. I also heard most of it doesn't taste to bad either. I also want to say its one of the only state that allow shark fish. 🤤😊

Also I think the Umarex version of the Javelin equipped for fishing looks like fun.

@AlsAirguns that would definitely be something I could see wanting to try out . I definitely could see my self in Salmon session in Alaska keni river with a airbow sounds like a blast to me.💯👍💪👌

At the moment I’m thinking I’ll put it on my Komplete. Our weather is in the 30s lately and I’ve wanted to see how it performs in cold weather & it has a pic rail.

No need, that’s what my Bug-A-Salt is for. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤗

Fantastic, so far I’m impressed enough to really want to do a detailed deep dive on it. If it’s on your list you’re probably aware that it’s a serious device with an impressive list of features. I’ll be getting more out on it soon.

From 288 fps with an 8.2 fr to 445 fps with 5.6 gr Fast Flight pellet.

Thanks. And yes I would love to try your targets. Please contact me via alsairguns@gmail.com to arrange. Thanks again, Al…

No

I think you made a really cool choice. Please let us know how it goes. 👍🏻

Definitely sounds challenging. I wonder if any of Buck-Rail’s mounts for other Airguns could be pressed into service.

@AlsAirguns that would be nice. I still have it apart . There absolutely no room Amy were to be able to mount any thing at all every thing to thin all the internals take up everything . The only way I see a mount ever fitting is if it 3d print or literally epoxy it to the top but then you will no longer be able to get it apart ever again.🤕💯🫡✌️ Definitely a ruff one for mounting any type of sights.💯😅

Yes, I’ve definitely seen product improvements in some of the Chinese production on items like the 2240. I suspect there are some late production US made gear that was less than spectacular. These might be labeled transition era products and this could be all over the place in my opinion.

Sound like your guns rail is too wise to work with these.

No worries. Would love to have you next time. Hope your travels were great. Take care.

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate you being there and your contributions. Very cool. 😎

@AlsAirguns of course. If wanted to see more about the red ryder challenge Nibs and I were talking about, original is in this Playlist of attempts: Red Ryder Christmas Challenge: th-cam.com/play/PLFSwKVesSGbDTYaB6AfwkEsZl8sU4U4Ed.html

Thanks , I need to check it out.

Thanks Joseph, you’re the best. I’m setting up now; will reach out if needed. Otherwise I’ll see you at 2:00pm. Done know if we’re going to have many but if it takes of I’d like you to consider being a moderator. That way if anyone is out of line you could put them in time out or block them as well as generally help me manage the show. I lot of viewers respond well to you & I think you’d be good at it.

@AlsAirguns thanks for your kind words sir much appreciated. Glad to help at anytime. I also have a idea about something that could make a great live stream in my opinion. That I'll message you about if you would be interested in doing. As far as I no there hasn't been any one to do what I have a Idea of. I'm sure I could be a hit in airguning live stream. I'll message you soon 💯😉🤔👍🫡

Sent you an email. Talk soon, Al.

Where do you get that.

@AlsAirguns Ebay Alchemy Airworks get the power kit

Sweet, glad to hear it!

Looks like I’m playing catch up here. Those builds sound awesome. I can’t wait to give it a try on the Jet 1. I’m pretty handy with a pump shotgun but that’s the limit of my experience with slide actions.

It’s thinking in more about the pump action Crosman you mentioned. That would be really sweet. 2240, 2250, 2260 lengths potentially HPA/PCP. Of course you’d need a grav-mag of something for ammo.

Those guys have been great about supporting us. I’m really stoked about trying it out.

I’m glad to hear it. I really like mine too. Another viewer who enjoys theirs says it’s getting a lot of hate from some people and was asking if I knew why. 🤷🏻‍♂️ My only guess would be color scheme or not being made of metal but I really don’t know.

I suspect they will offer refund or replacement. Yes your new valve should leave the pistol 100% good to go. As far as my pistol (and I suspect yours as well, the problem was diagnosed as a defective component inside the valve commonly referred to as the poppet. This piece is under spring pressure and keeps co2 from exiting the valve until it’s shaft is struck by the hammer causing it to lift up allowing gas to escape through the valves transfer pot and into the barrel where it propels the pellet forward. After an interval of time, referred to as dwell time, the spring inside the valve forces it into its closed position again. At the same time this allows a fresh charge of gas into the valve in preparation for the next shot. I’m glad you’re up & running. Happy and safe shooting.

@@AlsAirguns Thanks. Now that I have two, I can scurry down the modding rabbit hole.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I just hate that gun but works trigger is horrible OK esse Iam not talking from my ass

Yes it is. 👍🏻

Thanks and I appreciate you making the effort. Take care.

BTW, I agree as far as concealed & open carry. My concern is in areas with more draconian legislation, they currently perceive airguns as generally BB guns and pellet rifles like the Daisy 880 or Crosman 362. Show them a small airgun that looks like a dreaded tactical pistol or small like a Saturday night special, or sawed off shotgun Umarex and that double barrel pcp cartridge gun that utilizes burst discs and touts it’s self as a concealable shot gun pistol perfect for self defense. My fear is the possible creation of badly conceived statues being imposed on air guns similar to what’s been seen in Canada and the UK as examples.

@@AlsAirguns Imagine having to live in New Jersey , as I have dealt with this actual scenario, anything will be considered a weapon if used as such, even a feather could be construed as a tool of torture, the courts are crazy. I tend to be a rebel rouser Al and know exactly what you mean but if you watch a lot of those buy back videos of the cops buying guns back you always see a Daisy880 and a China redwood breakbarrel in the barrel of so called buybacks , The moment we stopped enforcing the importance of what actual words mean is when we lost the war on keeping the actual 2@ the way it was intended but we might have a chance to get back that right again. But we gotta fight fight fight for that right so it will never be infringed on again. FULL AUTOS FOR ALL 😂 be positive Al things might change.

You’re right. I shall keep the faith.

I didn’t even know such airguns existed ❤

Thanks 😊 Much appreciated

No problem 👍

Like I was saying I think these have so decent engineering behind them. Plus they are really slippery. I think the low friction material probably helps as well. Loaded in something like the QB78 they might be up to very small pests too.

@@AlsAirguns did you get any chronos of the qb with them?

I did not but the next time I have the chronograph set up I’ll test. I really expect 100fps increase. But I’ll confirm.

I really wish I had both the Hypermax and the Meisterkugeln wadcutters (Hobby I think?) The 7gr ones. I’ve sort of resupplied a bit on .22 ca. recently but have shot up most of my .177 on hand inventory. I’ve got a list of things I need from Pyramid Air so I’ll put these on the list as well. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍🏻

I suspect that they would be. I’ll do some accuracy testing and publish the results. I’d had some of these a long time back and remember them shooting well. Lately I’ve only seen this design in heavier weights which is why I grabbed these when I saw them.

I had heard that would be the case but yours is the first confirmation. Please let us know how it works for you. Thanks.

Me Too. Thanks for letting me know.

You’re correct in your observations. I could only speculate as to why some people bear it ill will. I think it gets compared frequently to the Ruger MK IV pellet pistol. And I think Americans have a soft spot for Rugers firearm version and because of the very close looks transfer those feeling to the pellet pistol version. However based solely on performance the Markpoint is a superior pellet pistol. I think some people who again have not tried it think it can’t be very good for its $36 price point. I actually had a viewer correct me in the comments at the end of my series and after my referring people in the comments to videos os a complete disassembly and trigger modifications. This person (I suspect an adolescent sitting high upon their thinking stool) informs me that obviously we are incorrect because in their opinion, the pistol is too cheap to be a gas spring. It’s funny the preconceptions and prejudice that some folks bring to simple issues. Certainly there are portions of ant topic that can be debated but there are also other portions that can be confirmed by direct examination and measurement. It’s really important to understand the difference if one wants to be taken seriously. When I worked at a major University lab, my favorite response was (and remains.) I don’t know, let’s find out.

Yes, they’re not as cheap as regular ones.

@ I like the Ruger u got that thing looks sweet

The Mark IV Pistol is the one you like? That airgun has been extremely popular this year and sells for around $50.

Thanks for the information. I always suspected that the two pieces would separate in many targets. Thanks again for sharing your experience. 👍🏻

​@AlsAirguns i have that gun and I love it.i camo mine

Awesome! Very good to know. Much appreciated.
